Professor Cornelius has a very easy-going and understandable course. Also, if you don't like speaking in front of a class, he is a great choice.
I loved this class he was so helpful and the way he organized his class was amazing
Professor Cornelius is great! The work is straight forward and incredibly organized which made it easier for me to keep tabs on my work. Gives excellent feedback and is always there to help you out when you need it. I'd highly recommend him.
He's a great professor. Course content is explained and very clear. He knows not everyone is an expert public speaker and grades accordingly.
Very clear instructions and fair grading. I wouldn't mind taking this course with this professor again.
Clear instructions on assignments, plenty of time given to complete speeches.
The instructions on assignments are clear and he even goes out of his way to make sure we understand by making videos of himself explaining them. There's more than enough time to finish the work and when we do speeches we have even more than the usual time. Professor Cornelius really taught us how to structure, organize, and deliver our speeches!
Professor Cornelius is awesome, super easy to follow he makes videos for all the assignments of each week. I took this class online in the summer, there are only two speeches you have to present and record. Not a lot of work and easy to do
Great Professor! Course content is well organized, you will never feel lost when taking his class. He provides you with all the information you need to succeed and do amazing in his class.
Lots of reading but worth it because it helps you with your quizzes. Fair grader and can be reached outside of class. A great professor overall.
He was great. He did good job explaining the assignments with videos of his own explaining what to do in the assignment. Also the assignment weren't hard at all.
I was actually recommended by him by two of my study buddies that taken him at different times. I love that I was to learn the material very well without being drowned in homework. Even if I taken him during Summer I, I'm glad that his class was efficient, streamline and super fun. I even recommended my professor to one of my friends too.
I would recommend this professor! As long as you do the work you will pass! We only had to do two speeches, and he gives feedback on what you need to approve. He also gives many examples on how to do the work for each week. Apart from all of that, he is also funny. He makes the class interesting.
Really organized class and easy assignments
Mr. Wade is a great professor. When I was searching for a professor to take a speech course with, I was a bit hesitant about this one, but boy was I wrong. His assignments are easy, yet they make you take the time to read, take notes and ask questions. A few speeches and weekly quizzes. This professor is a must take!
I took the summer class and Professor Cornelius was a great teacher, definitely would recommend, the class really isn't bad and he gives enough explanation as to what is required for the speech and is there to help you
My first class I took from when I last attended in 2016. He is a good teacher and he explains his assignments great.
I recommend 100% to take his class. Gives good instructions on what assignments need to be done and how to be done correctly. I passed his classes with an A.
Great class and great professor!
He's a very good teacher and his class was very easy. He gives you a week to complete his assignments, he doesn't really assign much work. He also provides you with chapters and ted-talks that have all the answers to your work. I strongly recommend him, his class was easy, well organized, and helpful.
Professor Cornelius is such an amazing Instructor. I learned a lot from his class. I would definitely take his class again. Great experience and fun.
Professor Cornelius is great. He gives great feedback which I really appreciate in speech class. The assignments weren't overwhelming and he would post assignments each Monday that were due for Sunday, so it was very easy to understand what and when it was due. This was a 4-week online summer class. Definitely suggest taking him for speech class!
Super easy and efficient class. The professor was straightforward and is easy to work with. Instructions are clear and in case of any questions, he is easy to contact. 10/10 recommend!
Just overall a great teacher and a great guy.
Great class! Had interesting tedtalks. Would definitely recommend taking this class.
Learned a lot in this class, but not in an overwhelming way. The class is overall pretty easy, and the instructor is reasonable and goes out of his way to make videos on explaining the weeks coursework.
Great professor, there are times where you have to read a good amount of chapters but they give answers to the test. Gives a good amount of time to complete the work, overall a great course.
Very easy summer class!! You have the whole 7 days to complete the work. 10/10 would take him again.
Best professor ever! And the best thing is that I learned a lot.
The class was easy overall, the only thing that was difficult for me and see no one talk about Is the last speech where you will record yourself and upload, which has many requirements but can be an easy speech. I enjoyed the course and he is very good, he knows what he is doing.
His class is an easy A, I took it during summer and I would finish the assignments of the week on Monday. He gives you the chapters of the book that you need, so no need to buy one. The grade that matters the most is a presentation, but it is honestly super easy!
Mr. Cornelius is a fantastic professor, easy to follow course and is very organized. He was detailed on what he wanted and one of the big positives is he provided the textbook needed. I took him online and will take him again for a course I need.
Great professor, but be ready to work and pay close attention to detail in instructions and reading. Lots of great info for those new into their careers. would definitely recommend.
Mr. Cornelius is a great professor! His online classes are easy to navigate and he literally posts videos weekly to guide you on assignments. As long as you keep up with the work in his class its an easy A!
Please take Professor Wade's public speaking course! He gives very clear instructions and has no problem answering questions if need be. I took his SPCH 1315 course over the summer and it was very simple! Professor Wade is excellent!! 10/10 would take his class again!
Great professor! I recommend him to anyone who is about to register for speech class. He organizes his assignments very well & easy to follow instructions. Only problem is he is so freaken gorgeous! Its hard to concentrate when I watch his videos but other than that he is very helpful & I can tell he loves what he does & he cares for his students.
Amazing class and experience.
The professor gives good feedback and is hilarious great humor and I did learn a lot from his lectures. Great Professor!
Professor Cornelius is a funny guy. Attendance counts for points. Weekly quiz on reading. Speech at the end of semester with clear outline. Show up and follow instructions and get a good grade, no surprises.
The class was fairly easy. The hardest thing to do was memorizing. There is nothing serious to worry about.
Great Professor.
Great teacher and puts things nice and clear!
Great professor whos always looking for ways to improve!
He is a very good professor he makes class fun and trys to connect to the class to make learning more interesting
Was a great teacher and gave ample time for assignments.
It was an absolute pleasure and great experience taking this course with professor Wade Cornelious, he is an amazing instructor who cares for his students and gives you all the tools you need to make sure you can succeed not only in his class but in college overall, I highly recommend students take this course with this instructor:)
An amazing professor. The instructions for the assignments were easy to understand and I enjoy seeing the creative format on each folder.
Must complete all assignments
I was a interesting and challenging traing something new like speech but with his help i have progresses a little in it thank you for your teaching.
Provides an explanation for weekly assignments via recorded video accessible at anytime. Textbook reading assignment material is also provided by professor. Allows a week length of time to complete all graded assignment.
This class was great! He explained all assignments in class which was very helpful. The classwork is also very easy and I learned a lot from those assignments. I definitely struggled a lot at the beginning with public speaking but I think that this class has helped me improve my skills. I also appreciate how he tries to make class fun.
He's great as a professor, but the grading is a bit tough in the final project. But it's cool
He's awesome.
this professor it great workload not too bad, clears are interesting and easy to understand.
Professor Wade Cornelius did a great job in making me understand all the main points in Speech 1321. Highly recommend Professor Wade Cornelius for new comers.
This was probably the easiest class I have taken, second to headstart. The assignments are very straightforward and easy to complete. The Professor is decently lenient on the speeches, and there are many extra credit opportunities.
An easy class and a teacher attentive to the needs of the students. His instructions were clear and his assignments were easy. Of course, to get a good grade you must give effort to complete the tasks. An excellent teacher that I would take again.
This professor is very fair with every single student, the assignments are not bad. Just try to stay on task and you'll be good.
Mr. Cornelius showed an effort to engage everyone in a variety of ways. We were able to listen to podcasts, video lectures, in-person lectures, and other ways of learning. It allowed us to learn how to absorb information in the best way. Mr. Cornelius was clear with instructions and was reasonable when things did not go exactly according to plan.
Great dad jokes! and helps with the assignments by giving interesting fun lectures.
I had heard of Professor Cornelius before, all good things that runed out to be true. He is an excellent grader and recently learned he is flexible and understanding in extreme cases. That being said, he is strict with due dates, make sure to stick to them, which isn't hard if you plan correctly.
Great teacher. Has Youtube videos to help.
This was the first professor I had that had a whole YouTube page dedicated to what they taught which I thought was very convenient throughout the course. Mr. Cornelius is a very good teacher and I would say that I learned a lot about public speaking within the time I had him without having a whole load of work. I would definitely recommend him.
Dr. Corneiluies is an excellent teacher that does a very good job at demonstrating and preparing his students on how to overcome their anxiety of public speaking. One complaint that I do have is that some of his lectures are quite long, and could probably be finished in about half the time. Overall, great teacher.
10/10 recommend! Tells funny corny jokes, and lesson plans are super clear and easy to follow. Due dates are not hard to follow with the way he has the content set up. Must to speeches and participate in them. Definitely would recommend taking him for Speech 1315!
He is always very clear and makes class fun while we work.
Great professor, K actually wanted to show up to an 8 A.M class.
Great Professor, he makes class enjoyable and fun. That being said, I learned a lot in this course and feel prepared to give speeches for my other courses that require giving a presentation.
Professor Cornelius was a pretty good teacher. He doesn't give a lot of work, and the work he does gives is easy to understand. He does get off topic sometimes but it's cool because he is funny.
Easy overall online class. You have your syllabus to follow. A fair amount of work each week to complete. The professor answers your questions within a fair amount of time.
Very nice and entertaining teacher. 10/10 recommend taking Mr. Cornelius. He would explain with fun examples and made 8:30 a.m. classes be worth it!
He is pretty cool and awesome
Great professor! I could've done better in his class if I didn't have the class period blocked with another insignificant class. His class was fun and I feel like I actually learned from it.
He teaches in funny way!
Great class. I learned a lot and this class helped me improve my public speaking. Would 100% recommend his classes!
Professor Cornelius is very energetic, and I find his class to be very explanatory; he gave helpful tools in public speaking.
Mr. Cornelius' classes were always something to look forward to, even though sometimes they can be a bit boring. But, that happens in life. I really did enjoy learning in this class and I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in taking it.
Keep doing what you have been doing. It has worked for me and being a nervous [public speaker you helped me better prepare.
As long as you attend class and practice your speeches you'll do great in this class. It is not heavy work and Professor Cornelius is an excellent professor. Highly recommend taking his class.
Cornelius was a great professor, and I thought his class was informative and helpful. His lectures weren't boring, and he was a very fun and genuine person. Overall I enjoyed his class, and I thought that the workload was quite reasonable.
At first, I thought Chris Hemsworth was only an actor but it turns out that he's a professor at EPCC and an amazing one at that. He is a very fair professor and if you give his class the respect it deserves then it's a very easy class. One of my favorite classes I have taken thanks to this amazing professor.
would recommend
You'll perform well in this class if you show up to class and rehearse your speeches. It isn't strenuous work, and Professor Cornelius is a fantastic teacher. His class is highly recommended.
Funny, easy class. Definitely recommend for any speech takers.
I had a lot of fun in his class! A lot of his lectures were fun to listen and they made learning about communication interesting compared to previous classes I've had. There was also a lot of opportunities to be a part of the conversation as well, very much a class that has a lot of lecture participation but it's not that bad.
I feel that professor Cornelius's class was a great one as the teaching environment was laid back and very comforting. I never truly felt out of place or uneasy when doing anything inside the class. Overall a great professor and if I got the chance, I would take a course with him again.
A very easy class!
The only problem with this professor is that he takes long to reply e-mails other than that excellent professor.
Professor Cornelius is fun and outgoing. His work was easy and reasonable although you should be ready to read at least a chapter from the textbook every week. He is understanding and responsive. Highly recommend, very good class- I learned a lot.
Mr. Cornelius made the course enjoyable and easy, due to good lectures and good instructions. He answers any concerns respectfully and he will try to address the problem. Mr. Cornelius provides many extra credit opportunities. Overall, I really enjoyed taking this course with Mr. Cornelius and I would definitely recommend him.
I had a really rough semester due to a death in the family but Mr. Cornelius was responsive and very empathetic to my situation. His work is very useful for the real world. You don't find many courses that can be used in the real world. Overall, great course.
The instructor is very clear about the requirements and instructions for the course, and grading is simple and easy. There is a bit of material to read, but the assignments are straightforward. The instructor gives all materials needed to succeed, including examples and resources for help, in the course.
Very cool professor! Very organized as well. 10/10 recommend
Work assigned was very clear to understand, his blackboard page is very organized. His YouTube videos provide good info on course topics, overall a very good teacher.
This class is very easy but you learn a lot because the professor explains every assignment with detail and you have many attempts to complete your homework and your final project. An easy A for sure.
Professor Cornelius is great! I would definitely take this course again. Assignments are very easy and he provides a PDF of the textbook, no need to worry about purchasing it. He is very inspiring and explains the steps needed in order to complete your final speech. Easy A if you get the work done!
Mr.Cornelius was great! Answered emails fast and was very helpful. Would take him again.
Professor Cornelius will make it easy for the students to locate and accomplish assignments.
Very good and easy class!
Great class! Great teacher! Definitely recommend! 1000000/10
Professor Cornelius is a great instructor, you will actually learn from his class. I would highly recommend for any speech classes.
You will learn in Professor Wade Cornelius' class, average homework but very easy. I truly recommend his class.
This is a pretty easy class, you have to turn in the assignments on time, and you can get an easy A.
I slacked off a lot i could of done better not the professor's fault but my own.
Professor Cornelius puts effort into his teaching for sure. He is responsive and answers you in a prompt manner. He cares about what he teaches and though I have never met him in person the way he carries out his course material it shows. Thank you Professor. I loved the U tube speeches and interviews for sure!
Pretty simple and self-explanatory class. Instructions are clear and concise. Basically, as long as you participate and follow the guidelines, there's no way to fail.
The Professor is good at answering his emails in a timely manner. He also provides good instructions for each assignment. He also uploads lectures which is nice.
This is an easy class to take. The professor is super nice and does not give a lot of work.
Work is easy. It is just a lot.
Professor Cornelius was awesome! The work was a lot every five weeks but it is not hard work. I would like to take another class with him since he was an awesome teacher! Very nice and fun teaher.
Easy to understand coursework, not a lot of work, and easy to understand syllabus.
Took him for the summer but I waited last minute to do the work so it felt like alot but in reality its not and the work was super easy. He also gave very clear and detailed instructions.
Mr. Cornelius is an amazing instructor with a great sense of humor. Instructions are super clear and easy to follow as well as the layout of course material. The text needed to complete the assignments is provided for you. I enjoyed this course and highly recommend but do expect to be graded on attendance.
He's a cool guy to be honest! His jokes can be...lame at sometimes but that's it. He's understanding and doesn't really remind you about late work so you would have to remember yourself. He does say when everything is due , he just doesn't say, "Your work is late, you might want to do that". His jokes were rough though (he also goes on tangents).
Super great prof! He was engaging and his work wasn't hard at all.
easy to talk to during class and will make you relate to the situation somehow. good teacher, good manners, well educated
great teacher and funny
Professor was an amazing teacher. Communication with his students was always on time. Thank you professor for your guidance and lessons. From Jose G.
Professor was an amazing teacher. I would recommend this class to my peers and family! Communication with his students was always on time. Thank you professor for your guidance and lessons. From Jose G.
I took this course online. Easy class, three presentation (videos) during the semester. Discussions and little assessments.
Very funny professor with a great attitude!
good professor
Mr. Cornelius was such a great instructor. His work material was very easy because of the amount of information he gives us for each assignment. The toughest part was having to read the chapters, other than that it was a great class. I would definitely recommend him!
This professor always made clear straight instructions for the assignments, quizzes and tests. He also provided ample time to complete the chapter work and was always just an email away. I would recommend taking this course with this professor.
The course was very straight forward. Speech is not my forte. However I still got an A. This was an online class for me.
Professor wade makes the class fun and interesting even if you are shy I recommend taking this class with him he is an excellent teacher.
Very Good class, motivated me a lot to outperform myself after each assignments.
My professor this semester was a very nice and very responsive teacher which is a very good thing as many teachers do not respond or try to help at times. The assignments were interesting and very fun to do and I would take this class again if I could. Overall, this was a good class, and I did not stress over it as I would with others.
Although he was a bit unorganized, Mr. Cornelius made this class pretty easy. I liked that we didn't have to upload our speeches on Youtube like in other speech classes. The assignments were very easy. I will say, though, he took a while to respond to concerns. But overall, this class is the one if you're looking for something easy yet efficient.
Professor Wade Cornelius is an amazing professor! he provides good extra credit, information, resources, and a good variety of flexible time to finish homework and assignments.. It all depends on the student. Just remember to check for your homework dates, read well, and you will have an amazing time and a really good grade.
Professor Cornelius is super caring and communicative!! He provides lots of examples that help prepare you for speeches. 3 speeches are given, personal, informative, and persuasive. And he allows you many chances to try and get the best grade possible on assignments.
This professor was very easy to talk to and is very easy if you get to class and understand his lectures. You are given a week to do your assignments so he gives you plenty of time to do the work and pass the class.
Prof. Cornelius was a great instructor, he always explained everything very clearly and his class was so organized and made it easy for students to access and understand. I would definitely take a course with professor Cornelius as my instructor.
Professor Wade Cornelius is a good teacher! During each speech, they give us examples and information that are very helpful. Gives extra credit. There were 3 speeches in total and in the tasks, he gives you opportunities so that you can achieve a good grade. And during the entire semester he only raised a few discussions that were easy to answer.
Mr. Cornelius is an amazing professor! I did online speech with him and as long as you do your work you will get an easy A.
Mr. Cornelius is a fantastic teacher who I was able to understand everything
The professor is easygoing and responsive to questions and remarks. The lectures are witty, and many online tools are available. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to receive credit for speech.
He was a really well thought out professor and would always be ready to teach.
Professor Wade is one of the funniest professors I've ever had. He goes into detail on how to give a speech before giving your main speeches, so you have time to learn and practice. 10/10 professor.
Great class. The work load was fair and Professor Cornelius answered my emails quickly when I had questions or concerns. The assignments were always clear about what he expected.
This class was fun I enjoyed learning how to create a speech and how to present. The professor showed in detail how to present and create an outline for all of your speeches which helped; I would recommend this class to anyone who is scared of public speaking.
This was an online class so attendance wasn't mandatory which I appreciate more than I'd like to admit. I absolutely despise lectures and this course was a nice break from that. I had the freedom to approach the course the way I wanted. The assignments were easy to follow and weren't overly difficult. 10/10 would definitely recommend.
He's amazing! Take him, super easy homework and super organized everything. You'll know what to do, by when, with what resources. He's 10/10!
Good professor for online classes. Has videos on YouTube that help a lot.
Even though I did not meet Mr. Cornelius in person i can see him as a happy, respectful person.
Mr.Cornelius is a good teacher, taking his class online I was nervous on how it was going to work, but it went better than expected. He provided the text book we needed all we had to pay for was the application to do the speeches in (if you're doing online). I really recommend his class, he told us exactly what to do and what was expected.
he's a great teacher. I took this class as a winter mini-semester and it was easy. There are two speeches. You don't have to buy a book, which is nice. You have to pay $25 for a program (not bad honestly). The class is easy; you just need to set time aside to do all of the work. Speeches are 40%, exams are 35%, and coursework is 25% of your grade.
He is super organized and his assignments are well coordinated and easy to understand.
Great course
Wade Cornelius was a great professor. Answered my questions in a timely matter, all assignments were easy to understand. Great for an online course!
Will help you out with anything you need if you just ask!class was very easy and I actually learned more than my first time taking speech.
Professor Cornelius is easy and his work is understandable. Expects speech presentations. Very caring about his students. If you do the homework, you'll pass easily.
AWESOME TEACHER HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
This Professor is great! Would recommend this Professor to people who need to take this course he is professional and very helpful.
professor cornelius was a cool teacher, very sarcastic and very outgoing. although some of the quizzes are kinda difficult in my opinion especially since the matching quizzes are tedious but you are guaranteed extra/free credit !
he is very funny, his work was very easy and I would love to take a speech class with him again
Class was very enjoyable to go to. Always an amazing lecture that was given and will always remember this Professor as my favorite.
he offered all the tools required to pass this class. always answered questions in a timely manner
Super easy if you pay attention and follow the guidelines to the speech! Makes funny jokes and keeps the classes attention.
he is very attentive
You have quizzes on the PowerPoint and the textbook. The textbook qizzes are a little difficult, but as long as you read you will do pretty well
Mr. Cornelius is a really good teacher. Explains everything we need to know about our upcoming assignments. Loves to tell dad jokes and make the students laugh. Gives plenty of extra credit opportunities if needed. Would definitely take him again if needed too. Definitely recommend to anyone who needs to take public speaking classes.
Great lectures and easy to follow along. You can easily pass as long as you do the assignments and he does a lot extra credit too.
He is a great teacher, Communication/Speeches or public speaking has never interested me but he made it fun and interesting.
My first impression was that he is so careful with his appearance, and work with him I found he is so selective and organize, I could say in everything, I really enjoyed his class, memories and jokes, part of the fun to learn.
If you fail this class, it's because you want to fail. Mr. Cornelius class is easy, guided and funny. He gives too much help to earn less than a C, because he trusts we can do better than we think.
Professor Cornelius was an organized and understanding teacher. He had sections on where the short quizzes, discussions, and he also would remind us days before about when the homework was due. There is a textbook, but you don't need to buy it; it comes with the class. The only reason why you can fail is not doing the work correctly.
Excellent professor! Not a hard class at all but attendance matters
Very cool guy and very easy class as long as you do your part.
Amazing teacher I recommend this class. Easy, interesting, helpful, and good tips for the future.
Mr. Cornelius provided all the materials we needed for the course. He did this through power points, reading lectures, videos and other reading materials. I found this very useful when doing my assignments.
Professor Cornelius made the class fun, instead of spacing out and watching videos on my phone I paid attention and I was always excited to go into his class. The funniest Teacher out here in EPCC.
Professor Cornelius had a lot of humor during his class which made his lessons easy and fun to complete. He was very understanding with attendance and other things.
very good teacher but get used to the bad jokes
He's pretty cool, dry humor is the best kind of humor 10/10 would recommend
Good Professor the class was easy they were projects but not that complicate.
Overall fun class and great professor, I recommend taking his class
It's a very easy class as long as you do your part. He provides the textbook and makes everything very easy to understand. I really enjoyed this class overall.
Highly recommend, I took the online class. Professor does a great job, always available to help and gives a good amount of time to complete assignments and gives opportunities for extra credit. 10/10 take his class (:
Although we have never met, Professor Cornelius seems like a wonderful and amazing professor. The course in Blackboard was easy to navigate and had very clear instructions when completing assignments and speeches. I would definitely recommend!
Profesor Cornelius responds in a timely manner and is accessible. His lectures were amazing and not to overwhelming. They were clear and to the point of understanding.
He's very easy going his class is super easy i really liked it i would take it again 100%
He is a great instructor I am very happy and grateful for his dedication into teaching
I took Professor Cornelius in the summer, which means that the class was five weeks long. Even tho the Professor made it easy to understand, the lectures he provided were on point in giving us the necessary material to be better at public speaking. -Two presentations -Some quizzes, but easy to do them -He provides the book
I took his class in summer school and it was too simple and the content is easy to understand, I recommend it a lot and more for summer school.
I'm currently taking his class as an online summer course, and it's been fairly easy to navigate through the course material. His assignments consist of reading a chapter and answering questions, watching Ted Talks and answering questions, and speeches. It's been a fun and easy course. I would recommend talking his class.
hard to get ahold of if you take his class online. took him over 5 days to finally contact even though his syllabus said he would respond with 48 hours. otherwise, very sweet man and easy class!
Lectures are engaging and entertaining, as well as easy to understand.
mans is a W
Its not that much work but what ever work he give he teaches it good so its not hard.
I really enjoyed learning in this class, the professor made the class a place I was excited to go to learn. This was because the lectures were easy to understand with the ways they were explained and because the professor was easily excess able. I would most definitely recommend this class to others.
I liked the teaching style because the concepts stuck.
Great professor
Very good, enthusiastic teacher. Lectures can run a little long but otherwise an easy class with an easy-going teacher. Would take another class with him.
Mr.Cornelius teaching abilities are great as he goes over the content in a way that everybody is able to understand as he also uses a lot of examples in his lectures and with one of his methods which is of telling stories that relate to the content it is really easy to remember the content as it leaves an impression on you.
Professor Cornelius provides all the material very clear and specific about what one has to do, likewise videos are very easy to understand the instructions and difficult for one to fail.
I'm almost done with the class. and for a summer class, it went by fast, I liked it!
This was my first ever speech class, I was a bit nervous but getting into the course made it a bit better. Professor Cornelius is amazing. I'm really sad that the course is coming to an end. I would definitely take this course again.
I loved having Cornelius online. Every week on mondays he posts videos on what we are supposed to do assignment wise. He is very clear and concise with everything. He has a very a very clear grading rubric. Very simple and easy. I took it online and it was just great to have him.
He is a good professor, but I would consider not taking it in a summer semester if you like to procrastinate and be lazy. The work can be a lot. Overall, his work is easy, and you get a good grade if you do everything.
Explains the coursework very well and is easy to get a hold of. My only complaint is that the class was too easy, but I don't think this is a popular opinion.
This was by far one of the best summer courses I have ever taken. He literally gives you the PowerPoint and textbook chapter where you can find the answers to the assignments as well as videos. He also gave us unlimited attempts on most assignments. He was easy to reach through Blackboard, and we didn't need to buy a textbook. 10/10 teacher
Professor Cornelius was an amazing professor overall. Was very easy going and accessible to any questions you may have. It was a super easy class especially for it to be during the summer. The work was very easy, and he gives you enough time to complete every assignment that is given. I truly did enjoy this class and would definitely take it again.
Great Professor!
Great teacher! The class wasn't bad just need to read what he gives you. Very understanding if you need help or extra time if needed.
While taking the online course, just be consistent and keep up with your work.
If you're trying to decide what speech class to take and worried if it will be too hard and won't understand I would 100% recommend Professor Cornelius! He clearly states everything he wants and explains it clearly, provides many examples (some visuals as well). Automatic grading, and provides lots of information.
Professor was a bit difficult but overall was okay. Work was very manageable,
He beat Tik Tok! It's difficult to stay engaged these days, but Professor Cornelius' approach of weaving humor, video content, class movement, & discussion into his lectures kept me focused. Above all, he makes you think about how the material is relevant to each of our lives and how we need to use our abilities to do some good in this world.
I took a mini-mester with him and it was a breath of fresh air. He actually practices what he teaches such as designing websites, mobile apps, working in the private sector and professional speaking for other occasions. He helped me design a website for my own personal business that I want to expand. His class was an absolute game changer!
Easy work, he practices what he teaches. Everything is dynamic an easy to learn. There's regular amount of work, but gives a lot of time to have it done. I'll def take this course again.
This class was pretty easy to take as long as you read your weekly chapter, study, and follow along you'll have an A+. There is nothing too difficult to do there is participation in the class. I would take another class with Professor Wade.
He is so good, his class gave me the confidence to speak in public.
Mr. Cornelius was one of the best teachers I have ever had. His way of teaching differs from others; he helped me get along with my speech anxiety and provided many resources to help me succeed as a student. 100/10. As someone who was extremely afraid of public speaking and fearful of this course, I would recommend him.
Mr. Cornelius was an amazing instructor that kept you engaged during lectures and really cares about making sure students learn what he has to teach. I would 100% recommend picking him as your speech professor.
Wade Cornelius is an amazing example of a good Professor. He helps out when you need it he makes sure everyone is caught up before moving on and will find a way to make the course work relatable to the students. So far he is the best professor I've had at EPCC.
Great Professor I will take his class again.
He's as cool as ice
Professor Cornelius is a great professor! his assignments are very well explained!
I LOVED Mr. Cornelius class. One of my friends recommended I take speech with him and he did not disappoint. I take classes at Valle Verde but traveled to Northwest for his class and it was well worth it. He has a unique way of keeping you engaged. In a sea of mundane instructors EPCC has found a diamond in the rough with Professor Cornelius.
Take this class is too easy and you learned a lot.
Amazing professor! Mr. Cornelius teaches really well and will work with you to help you understand everything. His lectures are entertaining and really get the point across. He is one of the best professors I have ever had and I would definitely recommend taking his class for speech.
Overall great professor. He dives deep into ways to handle crowd anxiety while making it comforting at the same time and he doesn't just tell you "to imagine the crowd is naked", he legitimately tells you how to get stay on track, how to be properly prepared, and even ways to even avoid anxiety from evening coming. Great professor, great guy.
would take again
He is by far one of my favorite professors, he relates to the class and is very enjoyable for all types of people. I usually have a hard time connecting to my professors so being able to so easily is something I wish more people had. 10/10
A really good Professor who helps and gives you the tools to pass.
Easy course with easy and concise assignments. If you participate in the speeches, the class should be a breeze!
Professor Cornelius is amazing! Even though I selected his course online, he was very communicative. He is very clear with assignments. Assignments are easy, just about reading the textbook. You do have to do some writing exercises (just to make sure you have an understanding of the unit) it's all easy! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PROFESSOR CORNELIUS!!
it's a pretty breezy class. the only drawback is that if you are taking it online, like how i did, you will have an ai software called pitch vantage that will grade your speeches. it's pretty annoying, but other than that, it's an easy going class for normal reading assignments and assessments. 10/10 professor, though! can't go wrong with that.
Professor Cornelius was very organized with all the course's information. He gives clear instructions and gives the student plenty of time to complete HW, quizzes and lectures. He is also very understanding if life gets in the way. He provides the chapters of the textbook that is needed for each weeks assignments.
I really enjoyed the dynamics of the class, it gave me the opportunity to succeed in school and remain focused on work. Everything was well organized and easy to locate. Assignments were explained thoroughly and examples of expectations were always included. I would definitely recommend this course along with the Professor.
Great teacher and the class was amazing I learned so much. It was a great class with resonable amount of work and assigments to turn in every week. I learned all about the the speech and communication skills one may need for the future in our jobs and have expanded my learning.
Professor Cornelius is awesome. He is an easy grader. He answers all of your questions or concerns, as well as any tips on public speaking he highlights the most important part about knowing how to speak in public. the assignments were fairly easy, and the course online did provide a textbook which was great.
He offers different types of learning techniques such as videos, PowerPoints, and articles. He responds quickly and allows you to fix your mistakes.
Professor Cornelius is mindful and understanding. He is amazing at breaking down information and is beyond informative. He is able to connect the information to real life situations to captivate our attention and keeps the atmosphere fun while still teaching us criteria that will be used in the real world.
Amazing teacher! I took this class online because I got deployed, and he understood my situation and gave me extra time when needed. You will be fine if you show that you want to try and finish the class. He explains assignments with YouTube videos he made and gives you examples from other YouTube videos, too. Excellent class.
It was one of the best classes I have ever had. The professor explains everything perfectly and uses YouTube videos for online classes. You don't have to worry about the textbook because he provides it. Fantastic course, and I would retake it if I had to.
Very easy to approach and understand the teacher. Course work is very easy and straight forward to understand but it can be time consuming. I would recommend this instructor to other students who need to take a public speaking or other related course.
Don't miss speech day, and be present for the speeches of other students.
I decided to take this class at 8 am and Mr. Wade always found a way to keep up engaged and wide awake despite the time. He makes funny jokes and has an outgoing personality. His lessons were to the point and easy to understand. He is also a professor I always felt comfortable asking questions if I had any. TAKE THIS CLASS
He's an amazing speech professor. He possesses strong communication skills, a deep understanding of the subject matter, and the ability to provide constructive feedback. He engages with students, adapts his teaching methods, demonstrates passion for the subject, creates a positive learning environment, and maintains organization. :D
Great Teacher!! Easy class online and extremely hard to fail. Teacher is always helpful and gives clear instructions. Would recommend this class!!
Public speaking makes just about everyone nervous. However, this class provided great tips in dealing with that fear. Professor Cornelius gave clear instructions and good feedback. I would 100% recommend this course and instructor.
I took this course online, and the instructor was very clear on what was expected of the assignments. A very straightforward class, just do the work and you'll pass with flying colors.
Mr. Cornelius is an amazing teacher who truly helps you under the information he gives you. He is understanding and helpful if you have any troubles understanding the presentation.
Easy class!! Maybe it's one of the easiest classes I've taken. Keep up with the work, and don't slack off because it's an online class!
Very amazing class i would take it again its pretty easy to understand if you follow instructions.
Professor Wade Cornelius is highly professional, and dedicated to teaching. He provides us with the necessary tools to complete each assignment and takes the time to explain them thoroughly, making the class more manageable. If I had to take this class or another speech class again, I would undoubtedly choose him as my professor once more!
Professor Cornelius's online class was easy. If you do all your assignments and turn them in on time you will pass!
I took his intersession class and everything was so easy! I was worried it was going to be stressful but the assignments are simple. You can finish them all in a day! Great class and great professor! Highly recommend!
He was very spot on with what to expect in his class. The class was easy to follow. His assignments were easy, and most assignments were given unlimited attempts up until the due date. Professor Cornelius was easy to get ahold of, prompt communication. I would recommend this class 10000%!
I took this class during the winter minimester, and it was easy, especially with the holidays. He allows you to complete your work roughly within a week; therefore, no late work. However, the assignments were not time-consuming. Also, responds within the timeframe in the syllabus and provides the textbook.
Really cool Professor, would highly recommend
I would take it again!!
I took the winter mini semester, The Professor did leave some home work, quizzes and readings. It was a fast pace course but everything is explained in the Syllabus. Also the Professor is open to questions and will answer you back in a timely manner. Good Course.
Overall great professor, pushes academics hard which is needed for students, educated, well mannered, respectful, overall great intelligent instructor / professor!!!
Gives very clear instructions and even provides video examples. You present your speeches through a different website but he shows you how to use that as well. He is very understanding and easy to contact, highly recommend just be sure to submit assignments on time!
Great class! It was 4 week course with a lot of work but at the same time it was very flexible, I was able to submit all my assignments even with work and holidays. The teacher is very good at giving us detailed instructions I never felt lost and everything was easy to find.
Tis class was quick and easy just stay on top of your work and youll be fine
He es a good professor, even though there are many assignments to complete, he give us the time to complete them and he is understanding about that.
If you read the instructions and turn in your assignments in time, this will be an easy class.
Took him as a mini semester and it was a super easy class.
Take this professor! His class teaches you a ton of life-changing material and is really easy.
You will learn a lot and yet you won't feel overwhelmed
The course was very easy to navigate, and the professor was a fair grader. You will definitely need to read the textbook. Some chapters can be unusually long, but still doable.
Very good professor, I personally took the class online and I feel that was a relaxed class with quit a few but easy tasks.
I did not know what to expect from an online speech class, but Mr. Cornelius made it interesting with his video lectures and instructions. I fell behind in the middle of the course, but there were enough grades to pick my average back up. The assignments are very easy to understand as well. I would definitely recommend him for Speech 1315.
Very good teacher! Gives good lectures and we're able to understand!

I am not interested in speech in any way , but this professor is those type of instructors who make you enjoy doing the subject you initially did not like.
I really enjoyed this class, I would recommend it to other students looking to take an online speech course.
Professor Wade Cornelius is outstanding! Their passion for teaching and expertise in Speech 1315 made the online course engaging and supportive.

Professor Cornelius is an awesome professor. I learned so much and it was such an easy class.
A great teacher, he is there for any questions that students have, he is very accessible, and gives very good information in class.
Honestly, this class helps me a lot to express myself and speak more fluently. It helped me know how to overcome my fears at the time of a presentation or speaking in public. I really recommend taking the class with the same teacher.
The class was good, easy and clear. He explains everything you have to do. There is a quiz every week,but nothing complicated. You have to record yourself giving a speech.
I have been one to be very optimistic about taking an online course. But after taking this online course I can say it was incredibly smooth to operate through and get through the class. Wade Cornelius is very thorough and explains and lectures content exactly to the point. He is consistent with his responses to questions or comments about the class
One of my favorite professors! He cares about his students, and his lectures are easy to follow. He provides us with some great YouTube content that can be helpful in life.
Such an amazing teacher, one of my favorites. Would definitely recommend!
Amazing teacher very helpful. Would definetly recommend!
He breaks down everything and goes step by step and how to give an informative and persuasive speech. The assignments in the class are easy and can be done in one day. The hardest part of the class is of Couse speaking Infront of people. If you're great at speaking Infront of people, then this class should be very easy for you. Highly recommend.
Great teacher and comprehensive. His instructions are always clear, he answer emails quick, he is always willing to help! Chapter quizzes are easy and he provides the ebook.
Very good professor, teaching style is very organized and always comes enthusiastic to class. He isn't boring and always throws in some jokes to make you laugh. The information he gives is interesting and genuinely helps. I would definitely take his class again.

I took his online public speaking class and had an overall great experience. There were three mandatory presentations that we would do on pitchvantage to an ai audience, making it incredibly accessible and accommodating. Course content was thorough and there was a lot of supplementary material. Highly recommend! He's a great and passionate teacher.
clear and concise insrtuctions
Great teacher in general helps students outside of class in time.
His teaching style is something for everybody to understand, and he employs examples and ideas to really help us grasp what he is saying and teaching. A great professor all around I would say.
this professor is organized, responsive, patient and able to clearly explain complex topics and nuances. he is a great teacher!
If you are late to submit do not even bother. He was caring and surprisingly creative -class was never a bore. We only purchased a speech recorder at the end
Professor Cornelius is a great teacher to have, I highly recommend him!
Professor Cornelius was understanding, caring, and thorough with his assignments. Answers any question at an appropriate time. I most definitely recommend his speech class, without a doubt!
Professor Cornelius is an exceptional teacher - organized, responsive, and great at explaining complex topics. The assignments are manageable, and the lectures are engaging. Unstuckstudy AI was super helpful for study prep and presentation practice. Highly recommend this class!
Noooo! A million, BILLION, times NO! I took professor Cornelius for a 1321 class. It was the ONLY class I wouldn't skip - SERIOUSLY! Not only did I enjoy it, I consumed the material, and he helped me see the relevance toward my life. I wanted to take his other speech course. He isn't here anymore! UGH! Good bye, sir : ( You are MISSED!
